I have	We have
You have	You have
He has She has It has	They have

“Have” is usually used for ownership, ability, or for a description…. I have a new car. They have time to go to the movies. She has brown eyes. He has a beard. …but the word “have” is also a very popular substitute for the words “eat” and “drink.” She has cereal and coffee for breakfast every morning. Have is also an important helping verb: I have lived in Minnesota for three years. In this example, (have) + (past participle) make the present perfect tense.

 

 

 

I have glasses.
You have sunglasses.
He has a gun.
She has a tricycle.
The cake has a lot of fruit on top of it.
We have time to learn English.
They have a hamburger and french fries.
All three children have popsicles.

 

Note: To make “have” negative in the present tense, use don’t or doesn’t + have. Correct: He doesn’t have any money. / I don’t have any money. Incorrect: He hasn’t any money. (but okay in British English)
